Public bug reported:
When a new Wayland session is created from a login, Alt-tab works as
expected to change windows. After sometime Alt-tab fails to do anything
(super-tab still works to change applications) and the following error
is created in syslog:
gnome-shell[777718]: JS ERROR: TypeError: window is
null#012_createWindowClone@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/altTab.js:29:27#012_init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/altTab.js:1004:34#012_init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/altTab.js:1045:24#012_init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/altTab.js:568:30#012_startSwitcher@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/windowManager.js:2069:24
The only workaround I have found is to logout and log back in, however
after some time the error repeats itself.
